What's Up Rory beat Time And Again a head at Chepstow with Going Nowhere Fast a well-beaten fourth but the runner-up is a pound better off with the winner so there is nothing between them on the form book. Baraza disappointed at Doncaster after winning at Leicester and is only a pound lower so we’ll take a chance that LOOKS LIKE POWER will have benefited from his run at Lingfield, his first over fences. He won here off this mark over hurdles in December.
